ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS       KEY QUOTE: “My main concern as a functional medicine doctor is to find out what the pathway dysfunction is and to fix that first and foremost.” — Dr. Will Cole   Here’s what Jimmy and Will talked about in Episode 79: – Getting to know Dr. Will Cole at DrWillCole.com   – Could bioidentical hormone therapy prevent weight loss for people who are eating a ketogenic diet?   Hey Jimmy and Dr. Cole,   I’m a big fan of Keto Talk and want to welcome Dr. Will Cole to the show. Since he’s got a lot of patient experience regarding hormonal issues, maybe Dr. Cole can help me understand why I’m not as successful at losing weight on my ketogenic diet as I had hoped to be. I am currently taking bioidentical hormones and wonder if that could be part of my struggle with weight loss. I did Atkins four years ago and it worked fine for me then. But it’s so much harder for me this time around. Can you guys help me understand whether these hormones I am taking are sabotaging my efforts?   Thanks for your response.   Glory   – STUDY: Low-carb vs. low-fat: Does it matter?   KEY QUOTE: “There are so many factors to why weight isn't coming off that you can't just immediately blame the diet.”  – Jimmy Moore   THE PERFECT KETO SUPPLEMENT USE COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 15% OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 1.

When the results came in (see them below), her office called me to inform me that my total cholesterol and LDL-C are way too high (230 and 153 respectively). I asked why these numbers mattered when my HDL and triglycerides are 62 and 73 respectively thanks to eating a ketogenic diet and I was told my "bad" cholesterol was too high. I wasn’t worried about it because I’d read Cholesterol Clarity and knew what really mattered.   When I went to see my doctor in the office, she wrote me a prescription for Levothyroxine because she says my thyroid level is too low and that it's driving up my total cholesterol and liver enzymes. When I asked whether a higher insulin level could cause this, she insisted that I couldn’t possibly have high insulin with my normal HbA1c. She wouldn’t run the fasting insulin nor the particle size cholesterol te
